Dear BERGers, Some of you might be interested: Sarah Kraemer, our PhD student investigating learning strategies in capuchin monkeys, is looking for volunteers. This is a great opportunity to gain some research experience working on a super-interesting project! Details below: .................................................................................................. Calling all students interested in animal behaviour and social learning! I am recruiting multiple volunteer students for assistance in 2 tasks for my PhD project that examines social biases in tufted capuchins. Students may reach out with availability to help in one or both tasks: 1. Coding videos of capuchins performing a binary-choice task (specifically recording their choices), to measure inter-rater reliability: short-term, roughly 4-6 weeks from mid-May through June 2. Assisting me in my task of using BORIS software to analyse capuchin videos: long-term, estimated 4-5 months 3. Both efforts will require pre-training, to be carried out between mid-to-end of May (foreseeably longer for the long-term endeavor). Both will involve one meeting/work period with me per week, and a few hours of work on the student's own time per week, but will not add up to a part- or full-time job. This is a great opportunity to be involved in animal behaviour research and gain experience for your own future projects! If interested, e-mail me at s.b.kraemer@stir.ac.uk<mailto:s.b.kraemer@stir.ac.uk>. Capu-cheers! -Sarah ......................................................... Sarah B.
